Treatment

"Lithocharis" gigantea FAUVEL, 1878 View in CoL ( Figs 100-101 View Figs 95-101 )

Lithocharis gigantea FAUVEL, 1878: 230 View in CoL .

Type material examined: Syntype: "Erima, Nlle Guinée / Wokan (J. Arou[?]) / ♀ gigantea Fvl. / Coll. R. I. Sc. N. B. / Ex-Typis" (IRSNB).

Additional material examined: Indonesia: 1♀, Pulau Waigeo ["Waigiou"], leg. Wallace (BMNH).

Comment: The original description is based on two syntypes of unspecified sex, one of them deposited in Museo Civico di Storia Naturale Genova and one in the Fauvel collection at the IRSNB ( FAUVEL 1878). The examined female syntype from the Fauvel collection and the additional female from the BMNH belong to an unidentified genus of Medonina , certainly not to Lithocharis . The head and the forebody of the syntype are illustrated in Figs 100-101 View Figs 95-101 .
